Magnetostriction of MnF<Subscript>2</Subscript> in high magnetic field
Magnetostriction and magnetization of MnF<Subscript>2</Subscript> samples are measured at several temperatures from T=4.2 to 70 K in fields up to 14 T directed along and perpendicular to the easy-axis direction [001]. Obtained results confirm the thermodynamic description of magnetostriction proposed earlier. Copyright EDP Sciences, SIF, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010
